A plain English explanation of this ACT planning and property term.
A block subdivision is the process of dividing a single block of land into two or more separate blocks, resulting in each newly created block being subject to its own Crown lease.
A block subdivision means splitting one piece of land into two or more separate blocks. Each new block gets its own Crown lease. If a new block is created before a house is built, the Crown lease may include rules requiring a dwelling to be constructed within a certain timeframe. Block subdivision is about creating separate pieces of land, not dividing existing homes or buildings into separate titles.
